why put yourself in this position? lead out. when you c/r on this board you will make a lot of worse hands fold and lose value and ensure tha tyou get stacked by the set that could very easily be out there. you trap $500 in the middle instead of stacking someone, and don't save money when behind

not sure I agree with this....the preflop pot is so big and there are so many players and he's OOP, if Diablo thinks he's ahead, a checkraise is fine - that pot size will often commit a good King no matter what and it protects the pot.....BUT, being first to act, a bet is just throwing money away if there's gonna be a lot of action on the flop anyway....I think the hand was played fine and the main (only) problem came down to the fact that D had no read of the opponents in question.....keep in mind, had Diablo led out, he might not've trapped BOTH guys with the Kings - the way he played it he did, but he just didn't follow through with the call (because of lack of read) which I'm sure many times he WILL (when he has the read) and win a big pot....
